Sorry about the weather, you're right it was one of the worst springs here in a long time... thankfully summer made up for it by being one of the best for a long time. Sounds like you had a great time anyways! St Pancras is beautiful isn't it? It's always exciting going there, there is just a magic about it. There is a great champagne bar there next to the Eurostar platforms, it all feels very glamorous. Speaking of glamorous, very nice that you squeezed in an afternoon tea in Claridge's, it's probably my favourite place in the city, just beautiful. I know what you mean about falling in love with London, not sure if I've mentioned on here before I am Canadian, I came here long ago for a working holiday and just fell in love with the place and had to stay. After 16 years I'm still in love!!
France sounds lovely, funny, we were actually thinking of going to Burgundy in Sept but nothing has been finalised. Beaune I hadn't heard of before until recently but it sounds like a great town, we thought we might stay there. Dijon we have stayed in for a night before passing through but it's also lovely. And Paris is Paris!!!
I've had a great summer, thanks, as I said the weather for here has just been amazing, it has felt like a proper summer. We also had two weeks in Naples, Amalfi Coast and Rome which was just fantastic, we were married in Amalfi five years ago so it was lovely to go back and visit again. The Amalfi Coast is my idea of paradise...
And now back and it's almost fall... no RO purchases for me yet, and while there are a few nice things I'm not sure there is anything I'll buy. Though I have absolutely LOVED my Kool Aid vest that I got in the spring, it has been such a fantastic cover up for the spring/summer and I'm sure fall as well.
